Organ weight is one of the most sensitive drug toxicity indicators, and its changes often precede morphological changes. So far, no background data about organ weight and its coefficient in SD rats at different weeks of age have been reported in China. The aim of this study was to summarize and analyze the change trends of organ weight and organ weight coefficients in SD rats at different weeks...

Recent work by Woolley, Fekete, and Little (6, 8) has demonstrated that in certain inbred strains of mice striking changes in the adrenal cortex follow early castration. The female mice of the dilute brown (Dba) strain, castrated at birth, showed areas of nodular hyperplasia in the adrenal cortex, after one year involving and partly replacing all three zones of the cortex. These mice also showe...

The purpose of our study was to show if there is any correlation between the location of the primary cancer site in the lungs and the appearance of metastases in the adrenal gland. 2,340 patients with confirmed lung cancer were analyzed. The study group of 2,340 patients was divided into two subgroups: 1,998 patients were diagnosed with lung cancer located only in one lung, and 342 with dissemi...

The adrenal glands are involved in the production and secretion of hormones and control different metabolic pathways. Impairments in the adrenal glands (above the kidneys) thus have a significant impact on bodily functions. Hypercortisolism, hyperaldosteronism, adrenocortical deficiency and phaeochromocytoma are typical for this type of disease. Medical students should be familiar especially wi...

1. Bilateral compression of adrenal glands combined with unilateral nephrectomy and followed by imposition of a high sodium chloride intake caused severe hypertension in all rats, accompanied by enlargement of the heart, kidneys and adrenal glands, atrophy of the thymus and severe nephrosclerosis. 2. Digitoxin treatment delayed the onset, reduced the incidence and ameliorated the magnitude of t...

introduction: 18f-choline pet-ct is an increasingly used technique in patients with prostate cancer. the main indication is to localise the disease in patients with biochemical recurrence. to accurately interpret 18f-choline pet, knowledge of normal tracer distribution is paramount. the aim of this study was to describe the normal distribution pattern of 18f-choline by measuring the maximum sta...

The authors present a case of a 6-year-old boy operated on in the 4th week of life because of adrenal abscess. The diagnosis of an adrenal abscess in the neonatal period is challenging due to its rare occurrence and non-specific signs. Adrenal abscesses can develop via two mechanisms: as a result of a hematogenic infection and a spread of bacteria to "normal" adrenal glands or, which is much mo...

Lymphoma presenting with enlarged adrenal glands is not common. According to the literature, most adrenal lymphomas do not have extra-adrenal sites. We examined a 47-year-old male patient because of abdominal pain-an unusual presentation of adrenal lymphoma. Following ultrasonographic examination that showed bilateral massively enlarged adrenal glands, the patient underwent F-18 FDG PETCT. Writ...
